    Creature is refreshingly and intentionally silly, in an era when horror has devolved mostly into torture porn and high-tech, computer-generated assaults on our senses.

    There is a perverse enjoyment to be had from something this cheesy, although not enough of one that I can recommend sitting through it. Still, as bad as Creature is, it can be fun, although the level of enjoyment is probably in direct proportion to the viewer's level of intoxication.

    The six actors in the central, edible roles seem as if they could have pulled off a "Scream"-like satire, but since they weren't asked to, there's nothing much for them to do but follow the clearly visible paths to their doom.

    Deep in the swampy hearts and minds of some filmmakers, embarrassing stereotypes still fester, gathering moss and slime.

    The Fx in this film are amazing! Cool Creature! Blood, boobs and violence! What else can you ask for! I thought it was very well done! If you're looking for something different this is it! This is not a Creature from the black lagoon remake! The music was good and the acting was great! Did Imention it also has Sid Haig from Rob Zombie's films House of 1000 corpses and devil's rejects!

  4. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was hoping for a fun and entertaining film, but I was disappointed. The film is basically 90 minutes of off-screen violence, sex and graphic nudity. I wanted this film to be fun, but all it is was a sort of violent porn! The acting was awful, the film was boring and uneventful and the film didn't even have any scary moments. But despite these flaws, including script problems, there were some parts that I liked, but they were ruined by all these problems! It could've been better and it's could've been worse. Expand
